Creation Mythologies

'In the beginning...' Many creation stories begin like this. We witness the stories spread by this word in different geographies and in every corner of history. The 'firsts' that await us in our journey into mythologies are actually nothing more than the dream and curiosity of reaching out to the origins of our humanity and contacting it. Such curiosity and desire brings us face to face with the religious, cultural and social dynamics of many civilizations. After her book The Origins of Fantasy in Turkish Literature, Gönül Yonar deals with creation mythologies, which are a product of man's effort to discover and understand his own marvelousness, in this new book. This study, which deals with the myths of the first creation, the creation of women and the Flood event in the six civilizations of the Ancient East, is of great importance in terms of showing the historical course of humanity and the idea of humanity itself as a whole.
